Greetings Einstein Toolkit users!
We are excited to announce an upcoming
Einstein Toolkit Seminar, which will take place on
Thursday, Feb 4, 2021 at our usual telecon time (10AM US Eastern Time) in the usual telecon Zoom channel (
https://lsu.zoom.us/j/631356683).
Our speaker will be Gabriele Bozzola, from the University of Arizona, and he'll be talking about "Kuibit: a community-friendly tool to analyze Cactus simulations".
Here are some more details:
Abstract
Analyzing Einstein Toolkit simulations can be a challenging task. Usually, the
process involves a series of technical obstacles like combining data from
different restarts or working with HDF5 files. In this talk, I will present
kuibit, a Python3.6+ library that takes care of all these low-level details (and
many other more) and that provides high-level, intuitive, representations of the
data. Kuibit comes with a wide range of features that include full support for
1-3D ASCII and HDF5 grid data, time and frequency series, gravitational waves,
and apparent horizons. With kuibit, users can inspect most of the content of a
simulation with just a few lines of code. Importantly, kuibit is designed to be
a code for the community: it is user-friendly and does not require any
proprietary software to run, it has documentation and examples, and it is openly
developed with emphasis on extensibility and maintainability. In the talk, I
will first give a general overview of the project, then I will discuss in more
details the various modules.---
We look forward to seeing you there!
